Visiting Great Point

On Thursday, February 14, a few of us students went on a guided tour to Great Point. Our tour guide Harvey Young was super informative and took us to the most spectacular places. We observed a pack of seals (which had a very strong smell) and that was extraordinary! The Great Point light house was beautiful too, and that was where the seals were located! Harvey showed us the damage done by the storm Nemo, it was awesome to go and to visit and witness the difference done by such a powerful storm. These are a few pictures I took while  on the tour to Great Point.

A little bit about EcoPoetics

EcoPoetics has come to an end sadly. It was a great three weeks. We had such an awesome teacher *Len Germinara* and so many interesting speakers that came to talk to us, which we were all so grateful for. All the students are supportive and respectful, and that really helped create a safe environment to read poetry. All the poems I heard were really fantastic! EcoPoetics was helpful in connecting with everything that was going on around us, from the beautiful Nantucket landscape to living with strangers (now friends). Three weeks down and many more to go!

Jetti beach

Swings creaking, moving, dancing

seashells crunch with every step

wind stealing scarfs from peoples necks

birds gossiping into the breeze

waves crashing on to the shore

this is the music of late January.

My favorite picture of Cisco beach so far. Taken 2 weeks before Nemo.
